Techies trigger an electric charge giving them bonus movement speed for a short period of time. Enemies attacking Techies are temporarily disarmed and get a Basic Dispel. At the end of the effect, the charge explodes, disarming all enemies within the radius. Can be detonated early using a sub-ability while the spell is active. Facet: Squee's Scope Passively increases base attack speed, increases attack range for every point of attack speed, and allows Reactive Tazer to be used on allies, with a slightly weaker disarm duration.

Techies hurtle themselves into the enemy's midst, detonating charges upon impact which deal massive area of effect damage and stun enemies. Upon landing, the assault deals Techies non-lethal damage equal to a percentage of their current health. Facet: Spleen's Secret Sauce Increases damage based on Techies' max health. Also increases the self-damage and makes the self-damage pure damage.

TARGET MODE area

Plant an invisible mine that cannot be detected by True Sight, but is visible if an enemy is within the trigger area of the mine and will detonate if they stay in the area briefly, dealing damage and temporarily reducing the enemy's magic resistance. The explosion deals more damage the closer the enemy is, and falls off towards the edge. Deals less damage to buildings, but still reduces their magic resistance. Deals extra damage to creeps.

TARGET MODE area

Plants a visible, stackable mine that can be manually triggered via alt-cast or a sub-ability on the mine itself to detonate it and all identical mines in its radius. When detonated, mines will create a fallout area that deals damage over time that can stack with itself. Mines will briefly not be able to detonate if a nearby mine in the detonation radius is attacked. Mines take less hits to destroy from melee heroes. There is a delay before detonation where the mines will give flying vision to both teams before exploding. Comes with charges.

Innate. Active. Cannot be leveled up. Plant a warning sign, causing Proximity Mines within its radius to be invulnerable, and allows them to stacked within each other's radiuses. When this is done, Proximity Mines will arm themselves and blow up one by one rather than all at once. Only one sign can exist at a time. Facet: Spoon's Secret Stash Passively allows backpack slots to be treated like regular inventory slots. Cannot use backpack slots for neutral items.

Aghanim's Shard

Upgrades Minefield Sign

Adds Minefield ability to the Minefield sign. When an enemy gets within 200 range of the sign, a 1200 radius minefield will be placed around the sign, causing all enemies to take 175 magical damage for every 200 units traveled. Lasts 10 seconds. Minefield has an internal cooldown of 60 seconds, and does not cause the Minefield Sign to despawn when finished. Resummoning the sign will always restart the Minefield cooldown.

IDEA DESCRIPTION

Explained by the author.

Changelog from my 8.00 fan-made mega patch: Scepter reworked: Adds new spell: Napalm Mines. Plants a mine that can be manually blown up after a 0.8 second delay, creating an 800 radius fallout that deals 45 damage per second for 18 seconds. Can stack these mines on top of each other and the fallout debuff stacks with itself. If one mine casts the explosion skill, all mines within 400 radius will detonate automatically. Mines take 2 hits to destroy. When being attacked, all mines within 400 radius of the attacked mine cannot be detonated for 2 seconds, including the attacked mine itself. Has 5 charges with a charge time of 12 seconds. Delay is audible to all players and will show themselves via shared flying vision to all players during the delay. Cooldown: 0.25. Mana cost: 50. Cast range: 1200 Reactive Tazer: No longer upgraded by Aghanim’s Shard Movespeed bonus reduced from 18%/22%/26%/30% to 12%/15%/18%/21% Minefield Sign: Scepter upgrade moved to Shard Shard minefield radius increased from 1000 to 1200 Shard damage per explosion reduced from 300 to 175 Shard no longer removes the sign after the minefield Minefield is now on an internal cooldown of 60 which is tied to the Sign itself Resummoning the sign will refresh the minefield cooldown Mine invulnerability radius reduced from 500 to 150 Can now allow Proximity Mines placed within the radius of the sign to be stacked with other Proximity Mines. Mines will explode consecutively one at a time rather than all at once if they detect a unit Proximity Mines: Max charges increased from 3 to 5 Charge replenish time reduced from 19/17/15 to 19/16/13 Cooldown increased from 0 to 0.2 Max damage falloff reduced from 50% to 30% Damage reduced from 400/575/750 to 350/510/670 Magic resistance reduction duration increased from 5 to 6 Now deals 30% more damage to creeps Now reduces building’s magic resistance Facets: Squee’s Scope: Now also increases base attack speed from 90 to 120 Reactive Tazer can now be targeted to allies within 1000 range, giving only 75% of the disarm duration to attacking enemies when used on allies Spleen’s Secret Sauce: Max health as damage bonus increased from 15% to 20% (Self damage remains the same) Spoon's Stash: Can no longer use neutral items in backpack Talents: Level 10: Changed from -3s Proximity Mine replenish time to +1.5s Reactive Tazer buff duration Level 15: Changed from +3 mana regen to +20% Proximity Mine building damage
